Domain delegation

Changing nameservers without losing web or e-mail service

Domain delegation decides which DNS servers answer for the zone. Prepare the change before confirming it at the registrar.

Check domainAnycast DNS

Before the change

Copy existing DNS records, confirm the hosting IP address, MX records and TXT records for SPF, DKIM and DMARC.

If the old zone had custom records, move them before changing delegation.

After the change

Monitor the website and e-mail, check propagation and do not remove the old configuration immediately after the change.

With Hostilla.pl you can manage domain, e-mail, SSL and DNS in one environment.
